Taking The Hill With St. Ignatius of Antioch

 

What a POWERFUL witness & Evangelist!

This was the second talk I gave at the Amarillo Catholic Men’s Conference in October of 2013. The first talk I gave recounted how God saved me from a lifetime of pornography addiction through the Catholic Church.  In this talk we look to the heroic example of St. Ignatius of Antioch, the first century Bishop who “took the hill” for Christ and His Church!
